Hi, I’m excited to share with you that I’ll be presenting this Saturday, October 6, 2018, at SQL Saturday Orlando. The most fun SQL Saturday event I’ve attended. It’s going to be my first time announcing this content on SQL Server 2019 (currently ctp 2) and SSMS 18 preview 4. Plus, maybe playing SQL Family Feud.

I tend to pack a lot of content into my presentations so the audience can take the most home. I am sharing my slides here, prior to the presentation, so we can cover all the demos at the session and have ample time for Q&A.

The presentation on Saturday turned out wonderful. I also received great feedback from the attendees. It was a pleasure to accomplish this goal and I look forward to speaking at SQL Saturday Orlando hopefully in 2019 on a new topic.

Abstract:
In this session, I’ll show you how to hack SQL Server using a simple C# console application and other tools. Most importantly, I’ll show you how to protect vectors that perhaps you’re trying to use to safeguard sensitive data for GDPR compliance.

Tabular Data Stream (TDS) Protocol

Dynamic Data Masking

Row Level Security (Yep…)

Database Source Control

Perhaps, you’ve seen these exploits before but do you really know how to reproduce them? Or, how to even protect yourself against them? No worries, I’ll show you the way along with a load test.

Finally, I am very excited to share with you how to analyze text using pre-trained Machine Learning models to predict a sentiment, on-prem with SQL Server 2017.

SQL ML / AI – A deep dive to predict the sentiment

Looking forward to meeting you all.
